  • Collection List A19
    Leabharlann Náisiúnta na hÉireann National Library of Ireland Collection List 19 Augustine Henry and Evelyn Gleeson Papers (MS 13,698) (Accession 2501) Partial calendar with brief description of letters sent by Augustine Henry and Evelyn Gleeson between 1879 and 1928. Letters are arranged according to year and date. 1 Introduction Henry, Augustine (1857–1930), botanical collector and dendrologist, was born on 2 July 1857 in Dundee, the first of six children of Bernard Henry (c.1825–1891) and Mary MacNamee. His father, at one time a gold-prospector in California and Australia, was a native of the townland of Tyanee on the west bank of the River Bann in co. Londonderry. Soon after Austin (as Augustine was called within his family) was born, the family moved to Cookstown, co. Tyrone, where his father was in business as a flax dealer and owned a grocery shop. Henry was educated at Cookstown Academy and in Queen's College, Galway. He studied natural sciences and philosophy, graduating with a first-class bachelor of arts degree and a gold medal in 1877. Henry then studied medicine at Queen's College, Belfast, where he obtained his master of arts degree in 1878. For a year he was in the London Hospital, and during a visit to Belfast in 1879, at the suggestion of one of his professors, he applied for a medical post in the Chinese imperial maritime customs service. Henry completed his medical studies as rapidly as he could, became a licentiate from the Royal College of Physicians in Edinburgh, passed the Chinese customs service examinations (for which he required a working knowledge of Chinese) and and left for China in the summer of 1881.

In total, over 1,350 structures were recorded. The Inventory should not be regarded as exhaustive and, over time, other buildings and structures of merit may come to light. The purpose of this introduction is to explore the social and historical context of the buildings and structures and to facilitate a greater appreciation of the architectural heritage of County Monaghan. The NIAH survey of the architectural heritage of County Monaghan can be accessed on the internet at: www.buildingsofireland.ie MAP OF COUNTY MONAGHAN From Samuel Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, published London, 1837. 3 JC946 NIAH_Monaghan Book(AW)_COUNTY MONAGHAN 18/06/2013 17:21 Page 4 AN INTRODUCTION TO THE ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE of COUNTY MONAGHAN Introduction Monaghan, an inland county in south Ulster, lies across the great drumlin belt formed by the movement and melting of a retreating ice sheet some 15,000 years ago. This process deposited mounds of boulder clay, and dense poorly draining soil in a great tract between Donegal Bay and Strangford Lough. This concentration of small hills, frequently interspersed with lakes, gives a pleasing and ever changing character to the local topography.
